For the youngest, work on the first two stanzas of the poem

There was an apple,
At the top of an apple tree;
A gust of autumn wind
Made her fall on the meadow.
                                 (show the sky then the ground)
Apple, apple, did you hurt yourself?
                                 (shaking hands)
- My chin is marmalade
                                 (finger on chin)
The split nose and the poached eye!
                                 (finger to nose then fist to eye)

On the roof of the school.

At the edge of the meadow,

If I give you

A kick,

How far will you ride ?

 

Oh ! Please !

I am already

all rotten,

leave me there

At the edge of the meadow,

end my life

Under my apple tree !

The apple in children's literature

Natchan has brought a nice red apple to eat at her ease at the top of the hill.
But heck! The apple escapes him and begins to roll down the slope.

Help ! Impossible to catch up with her.

Fortunately, the rabbit and the squirrel are fast. Fortunately, the bear is soft and strong.

Each in their own way will come to the aid of the little girl.

Phew, the apple is recovered, intact.
Hmmm... she looks good.
Everyone really wants to taste it now.
What if it was even better when we share it?
